CURRENT CELEBRATIONS

Giancarlo Benjamin Capozzoli

Giancarlo was the happiest boy; his joy was truly contagious. Despite the daily medical interventions, he carried a perpetual smile that brightened every room. He loved attention — especially being held — and everyone around him was eager to give it to him: family, friends, doctors, and nurses alike. Though profoundly deaf, Giancarlo’s communication skills were remarkable. He lit up whenever he saw someone signing. Giancarlo’s weekly music therapy, PT, and OT sessions were the highlight of his days. He also loved his Winnie the Pooh toy, picture books, and the stars projected on his bedroom ceiling.

Christmas Eve delivered him as the perfect gift to his parents, Benjamin and Gabriella (D’Amico) Capozzoli and his grandparents, Daniel and Jill Capozzoli and Albert and Donna D’Amico.

Come celebrate 15 miraculous months of Giancarlo, Thursday 6:00-8:00 p.m. and Friday 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. at Daley Life Celebration Studio, 1518 Kings Highway Swedesboro. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. at St. Clare of Assisi Parish, St. Joseph’s Church, 130 Broad Street, Swedesboro. Interment to follow at Lake Park Cemetery, Woolwich.
